you know, it takes years to fire a pedophile who's a teacher in california. and in this session there was legislation to allow the superintendents to fire pedophiles, convicted pedophiles, and that did not pass because the union blocked it. because to them, the tenure issue is sacrosanct. and, see, when i talk about elevating the discussion which i think mayor emanuel's right on, as opposed to just being accepting of the old view of job rules and tenure and situations where people don't get evaluated at all, we need to start really talking about what accountability should look like for children. and i, look, i'm not like a big test score guy. i'm not saying that, you know, if every kid doesn't get 95% then teachers should be fired, but it should be an indicator. in boston when they agreed to this new deal, the evaluation was, you know, 25% of the teacher's evaluation is going to be based on the test scores of the kids in their class. that sounds reasonable to me. and then, you know, you get a group who evaluates teachers like the unions can pick most of the f
